That's about like me asking a college intern (that works free at our offices) to take on a task of making sure our clients get particular research reports weekly. Guess Jon might go get all the offensive players and coaches some Poweraid.

Still feels like a non-event to me. I'm trying not to make it bigger than it is....only time will tell. Until then I'm observing spring ball to see if there is any noticeable improvement in all 3 phases of our team.

But wlayton, would your company want you to bring your son in to get your clients their weekly research reports? And if so, and all of your clients started complaining that they weren't getting their reports on time, would you want to "fire" your son? And I'm still guessing Jon will be doing more than fetching poweraid. Like Steve pointed out, just potential drama that is unnecessary.

Sure, I have had both my daughters help with my brother and my partnership. Eventually they moved on.....if either didn't do the job the way I wanted I made sure they did it right the next time. We wouldn't give them anything they couldn't handle.....baby steps.

Not trying to start anything just not putting the cart before the horse. For me, I'm just not going to get all worked up over it until "if" and "when" something of any significance happens up there. Who knows, maybe something really good might come out of it (trying to think positive rather than negative).

up for the players to use. They also often set the play calling for the scout teams each week after having watched
film on the next opposing defense. I'm not all that concerned about it right now and wont be as long as it's a brief internship and then he gets a real coaching job at Podunk U in Biscayne, West Dakota. Hopefully Georgia's laws on nepotism will keep it from being more than that. I agree that I don't like the appearance here of daddy using his
job to get his son a break, but let's be honest. If this was Saban letting his son do volunteer work for 'Bama, not
many would be saying a word. If this was MR doing it after having won the SEC championship and coming off of a 13 win
season where our team shined in all 3 phases of the game, then it wouldn't be much of a big deal either.

It's not however.... it's MR and most everyone has had enough of him so almost anything he does outside of seppuku
is going to be met with derision. He should know better and realize he needs to walk on egg shells, but he's obviously been made completely comfortable.

What concerns me more is something else Buc said, that others have said regarding MR being energized. About 3 years ago MR became "re-energized" as well. So by my count that means during a significant portion of the past few years, he has been "NOT-ENERGIZED". As Buc also noted... think Saban needs to get re-energized every 3 or 4 years (meaning of course he was not energized the previous season or longer)? That my friends indicates a coach that needs external factors to have his heart into it.... just the job itself and the prospect of being a D-1 coach on a team constantly
loaded with talent isn't enough. He's got to have new blood come in (and lessen his burden some more) in order to
really get focused and excited, and all along we've known this team has a focus issue.

That my friends concerns me a lot more than his boy on the field for bring your kid to work day.

Simply agree.

Makes sense, wlayton. We just differ on that, I guess. Both my children have needed/wanted assistance in the job market, and I have always used my connections (what little I have) to assist them in places other than where I worked. Did not want the possible "favoritism" talk or the potential to have to let them go if necessary. Just me though, guess things make us all different.

Bobby Bowden left Tallahassee a very rich man. Did many good things, actually put FSU on the football map. Did not know when to depart. That was handled for him, and it turned out those higher up knew it was time.

Bobby did not agree and stayed away from the program for several years. His reason for staying away was that he did not want to interfere with Jimbo Fisher and what he was going to do with the program.

The higher ups in Tallahassee let it be known that Fisher was replacing Bowden. Sadly, UGA football has never been ran by those that understand how to compete at the highest level in the SEC. Players yes, coaches no, check, as said before the coaches after VD left.

mark richt is a very rich man, is in a position to do as he pleases. He does.

At this point in time, I think it was a mistake to bring family into the "arena".

Most of the problems that mark richt has encountered in Athens have been because of his lack of leadership.

Anyone on this board watched the interview of Sherrer? Has some interesting comments on his friends with him at UGA. Might have to wade through some things, but the video is on one of the "reels". Move down to the second row of videos, Sherrer is there.

Yeah sadlerdawg, everbody's situation is different and hard to compare. We didn't create favoritism because #1 they worked for free and #2 "mainly" we didn't elevate them above our main assistants etc.

Hey Buc, I was talking about the kids decision to leave clemson and go to mars hill where he could play. At least hes smart enough to figure out he couldnt play d1.
